I was very fascinated by the time when firearms went from being fire sticks to being something people could use to hunt and to survive.

Five years after Aerosmith got back together, I realized how fragile we are as humans. There was a time I thought we were bulletproof, but then things happened and I came to the realization that I had to play every gig as if it was my last show. You have to start thinking that way, because you never know what's going to happen next.

Hopefully I'm bringing to rock n' roll the kind of spontaneity that I love, and always believed rock and roll stands for.

The Beatles just changed everything right across the board. They just had that right combination of clean-cut good looks - a cute band - but under that they had a real rock n roll thing going on.

Get good live and get a following because that's what people notice.

I think one of the most valuable things Aerosmith has is the energy we produce when we all play together.

The '70's came and went already
